"How's it going at home?" Xu Lai asked.

"Everything else is fine, it's just ......," the little girl hesitated, "It's that my parents won't let me go out, and I just came out when school is starting now." ”

Xu Lai smiled: "Are you afraid that I will abduct you?" ”

Xu Chengcheng's face turned red and said, "I think it was all provoked by that Master Ge." ”

Seeing that Xu Lai was drinking beer and didn't speak, she comforted her softly, "Brother, don't worry." As long as Sister Jiaojiao sees you, she won't think like that. ”

"Why?" Xu Lai was curious.

Xu Chengcheng said: "Because when I first saw my brother, I felt very close, and Sister Jiaojiao will definitely do too." ”

Xu Lai smiled, held up the beer and said, "Come and touch one." ”

Xu Chengcheng was also happy when he saw him smiling, and he leaned over the soda bottle and touched it.

After eating, the brother and sister walked all the way back, and when they arrived near Fanghua Garden, the little girl waved at Xu Lai and entered the community.

Xu Lai stood outside for a while before walking back.

In the next week, Chen Duo was very busy every day, basically not at home, Zhang Yichun and Zhao Xiaomin, the two little girls, went in and out together every day, and the relationship was not good.

During this period, Xu came and went to Sun Muyu's residence, and the four of them mixed together, which was quite lively.

In the evening, the sky was cloudy, and although it was still early, it was already as dark as late at night.

After a few thunderbolts, the rain poured down.

Xu Lai happened to come back from outside, but it was not raining, standing on the balcony and looking out, he saw that the rain was heavy one after another, and the whole city was shrouded in water vapor.

It is said that this kind of rain will not last long and will stop, but tonight is a little surprising, the rainstorm has lasted for more than an hour without a hint of stopping.

From the upper floor, the street is still full of traffic, but due to the heavy rain, the drainage cannot keep up, and the road has begun to be flooded.

Xu Lai went back to the house and called Chen Duo, wanting to ask Zhang Yichun which training class he was in, and was going to go over to pick it up.

But after a few calls, no one answered.

Later, I received a call from Zhao Xiaomin, saying that she and Zhang Yichun went to her house to hide from the rain and asked him not to worry.

I have to say that Zhao Xiaomin, a little girl, is thoughtful and thoughtful, far beyond ordinary children.

With her taking care of her, and being at the Zhao family, Xu Lai naturally had nothing to worry about, stood on the balcony and watched the rain for a while, then turned around and went back to the study.

Just as one of his feet stepped into the study, the phone suddenly rang.

"Where are you?" Chen Duo's anxious voice came from the phone.

"At home, what's wrong?" Xu Lai asked.

"Something's wrong, come over quickly!" Chen Duo quickly reported an address.

Xu said hello and turned to go out.

"You go to my house and get two sets of clothes." Chen Duo added again.

"Xiao Chunren is not here, and I don't have a key." Xu said.

"If you don't have you, you won't be able to open the door without a key?"

"Okay."

Xu said, went to Chen Duo's house, stretched out his hand and pressed the door, and the door lock suddenly jumped open.

entered Chen Duo's bedroom, opened the wardrobe and asked, "What clothes do you want?" ”

"Just what I usually wear, clothes and pants, take two sets! That's it, I'll hang up first, you hurry up! After Chen Duo finished speaking in a hurry, he hung up the phone.

Xu Lai took two sets of clothes and put them in his bag, took an umbrella, and went downstairs and went out.

At this time, the rain still meant that it was going to stop for half a minute, and the water level on the road was rising rapidly, and many cars had turned off their ignitions and stopped in the middle of the road, which became a pot of porridge for a while.

Xu Lai didn't call a car, he put on his umbrella, cast a breeze protection spell, and threw himself into the rain.

The location that Chen Duo said was not far from Jiangning University, not very far from Zijinyuan, Xu Lai's figure loomed in the rain, sometimes slowly, and after about ten minutes, he found a place.

The neighborhoods in this area are older and more remote than the rest of the city, especially during the rainstorm and there are few pedestrians on the road.

Xu Lai stepped forward quickly, and then turned into a brand-new public restroom next to it.

"Landlord, where are you?" Xu Lai asked.

"Inside, come in!" Chen Duo's voice came out.

Xu glanced at the lady's sign, didn't say anything, put away the umbrella and walked in.

I saw Chen Duo standing at the door of a toilet station, wet all over his body, his skirt tightly attached to his body, twisting his hair, dripping with water.

"What's the situation?" Xu came over and asked.

Chen Duo brushed his hair behind his ears and pointed to the opposite side of her.

When Xu came to look, he saw a soaking wet woman huddled by the toilet, shivering.

"It's Kanglu's woman, go and see her." Chen Duo said.

Xu Lai was a little surprised, as soon as he stepped into the door, Kang Lu immediately let out a frightened scream. Xu Lai stepped forward and flicked her eyebrows, and the girl immediately fell asleep.

"It's too much of a fright." Xu Lai looked back and said.

"Nothing else, right?" Chen Duo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Did you bring the clothes?" ”

Xu Lai handed over the bag.

Chen Duo opened it and looked: "You still took a towel?" Pretty smart, huh. Kicked Xu Lai out, "Don't come in, I'll change my clothes." ”

Xu Lai stood guard outside the door for a while before he heard Chen Duo shouting inside: "Come in." ”

When I went in, I saw that she had changed into clean clothes, and Kang Lu's dress had also been changed by her, and she was wiping her hair with a towel.

"What's going on?" Xu Lai asked.

"I don't know. It's not raining heavily, and when I was passing by, I saw this guy screaming and running desperately, so I went up to chase her. As a result, she hid in this place, delirious, and ignored me no matter how I told her. I'll just have to stay here for now. Chen Duo said.

"Where did you meet her?" Xu Lai asked.

Chen Duo walked to the door of the bathroom and pointed forward: "It's there." ”

At this time, the rain became heavier and heavier, as if the sky was missing, and the rain poured down with a bang, and the water vapor was filled, and even the dim street lamps were confused.

"I'll go take a look." Xu said, holding an umbrella and stepping into the rain.

This area has long been filled with water, and as soon as he stepped on it, the water did not reach his feet and necks, Xu Lai didn't care, walked to the place pointed by Chen Duo, and carefully checked it for a while.

There was nothing unusual about this place, only an empty pavement and not even a tree.

Five or six paces away from him, a rather turbulent whirlpool arose on the water.

Xu Lai stepped forward, squatted down and looked at it for a while, stretched out his hand and probed down, it was bottomless, it should be a manhole, but the cover didn't know how it was gone.

Xu Lai searched for a while, and found the manhole cover more than ten meters away from here, and it didn't look unusual. He took the manhole cover back to the manhole position, reached into the water, and probed for a while before closing the manhole cover again and returning to the bathroom.

"What did you find?" Chen Duo had already put all the wet clothes into the bag at this time, and helped Kang Lu against the wall.

"There's a manhole cover open there." Xu said.

"Manhole covers? This guy can't be scared like this by a manhole cover, right? Chen Duo was surprised.

"There must be something else." Xu said.

"Could it be like that?" Chen Duo asked, with her understanding of Kang Lu, this woman's eldest lady has a lot of temper and courage, and ordinary things must not scare her like this.

"Possibly." Xu said, looked at the rain outside, and said, "I'm afraid I can't leave now, so I'll have to wait." ”

"Hmm." Chen Duo didn't have any opinions, it was raining so heavily outside, and he had to turn into a soup chicken if he couldn't walk a few steps at all, she said, suddenly glanced at Xu Lai, and said, "Why are you doing this?" ”

"Is there one? My shoes are all wet. Xu said, took a step, and immediately there was water gurgling out of his shoes, making a creaking sound.

"What else do you say, your shoes are wet like this, why are your clothes all dry?" Chen Duo asked, with such a heavy rain, he just held an umbrella, which is not logical.

"The effect of the spell." Xu said.

"yes, can it still be like this?" Chen Duo listened with some envy.

The two waited inside for a while, but the rain outside did not abate at all.

"You come and help her for a while, I can't bear it." Chen Duo beckoned Xu to come over and replace her.
